    News for 45 ACP carriers

    These gun snobs hitting on HiPoints need to quit acting so high and mighty. I might agree if HiPoints didn't work, but they do. If you have $800 to invest in a AR 9mm or $600 for a Storm, then do it. But calling a gun crap because it's cheap and ugly doesn't mean it is crap, they're working...

    What's Involved in Replacing an AR Buttstock?

    You don't need to stake, but it's a good idea. Any punch will suffice. To remove the stock, just slip the upper off the lower. Push down the buffer detent and remove the buffer and the spring. Loosen the castle nut and slide the piece that fits into the receiver to prevent the stock from...

    Liking 308, considering Saiga

    I have an older .308 model with the 16" barrel I got back in '04 for under $300. I did the whole conversion and everything and it has been nothing but great. If you do decide to convert, there is a bit more involved than the others calibers, but it's worth it. To me, the gun never felt right...

    Various AR-15 style Rifles

    Cerberus owns DPMS as well. Not to mention, Remington's AR-patterned .308 is the DPMS LR. Whose to say the parts for the 15's come from Bushie any more than DPMS? Anyway, it doesn't matter, you'll be happy whatever you pick. I built a parts kit on a DPMS lower. It works great and hasn't...

    AR tubes/handguards...

    RP88, I'm one step ahead of you. I've got a Delton M4 kit on a DPMS lower. I've since painted it, cut the front sight for a free-float tube (I'm going YHM lightweight rifle-length rails) to fit over, and optioned for a decent red dot. After I get the rails, I'm going to throw some irons on...

    AR 15 Mags

    I might be mistaken, but I believe the original AR18/180s do NOT accept M16 mags. The new 180B with polymer reciever does, but I think the original had a proprietary design.

    is the AR-15 reliable enough for SHTF

    I have both an AR (DPMS lower, Del-Ton M4 upper) and a converted Saiga. I wouldn't feel lacking wither either one.

    I Need a Battle Rifle !!!

    My early import (EAA) is marked 7.62x51, but it shoots both. I also got it for less than $300 at the time. Nothing by high praise from me.

    .45 ACPs in the $500 price range

    I have an RIA and love it. I also just got done recently installing a beavertail and hammer on it. Some things to consider: - Armscor makes RIA - STI's new budget 1911 ($600~) is based on Armscor slides/frames. - 6 months ago, RIA started being imported with forged slides (Ivan, RIA rep)...

    10mm: Which one(s) do you have?

    Yes, Para-Ord conversion still work and are somewhat popular. Probably the best 1911 is Dan Wesson. They started the whole 10mm 1911 resurgence with the Razorback. If I was to buy a 1911 in 10mm today, it would be theirs. Even if it was for nothing more than to thank them for starting...

    10mm: Which one(s) do you have?

    The Witness can be carried cocked and locked safely, which is the way I prefer to carry it anyway. Put some slim, wood grips on it and it should be fine.

    Glock 23 kB on film

    KBs are practically exclusive to the .40 S&W models. That's what happens when you have a cartridge pushing around 40k psi with lack of head support and a thin case (compared to the parent cartridge). It's rare and not enough info is known to make any determination in this case. Those could...

    Probably going to lose our shooting range

    Or just recommend that have any users sign a waiver first. Sounds like the best idea.

    10mm: Which one(s) do you have?

    It's roughly the size of a 1911 Government model, give and take here and there. The grip is rather big though, but isn't far from most hicap wondernines. I have since fitted a set of Hogues to it and it cut down on the grip diameter. The fit is close to 1911 in SA, but a bit of a reach with...

    Witness FS .45 owners

    Lucky, more info on this? If I'm not mistaken, the 10mm and .45 Mag bodies are identical except for the lips. So, those would theoretically fit my 10mm Witness mags, yes? Got any contact/dealer info? Got any sources for those Witness parts aside from EAA? $40 for triggers and hammers is a...

    Arc-Lite, you asked about mag capacity, how's this?

    Bill Ruger on plastics...in 1984

    What kind of second rate junk does Ruger produce? How about Caspian's Titanium frame and slides (until recently) and Smith and Wessons Scandium frames? You'd be surprised how many other guns are made by Ruger and relabeled due to their leading facilities in investment casting. You can hate...

    10mm: Which one(s) do you have?

    Witness FS in the 10. Fullpower 200gr XTP loads are fun!

    Best Aftermarket Barrel for Glock 20...

    Haven't seen Stormlake mentioned yet. Quite a few of the GT users on the 10 Ring have them and are quite happy. This is even better since Stormlake is having an overrun sale. http://stormlakemachine.com/Inventory%20items.html Stock or 6": $79 You can't beat that.

    High Standard 1911

    You won't have to tinker with an RIA (or clone) unless you want to. They're generally good out of the box, once you get a few rounds through them. I'd comment on mine, but I bought it used. It does function 100% though. They're good, functional guns with potential for customization. I'm...
